Inventory & Asset Tracking

What FasterOS builds for you

Describe it to the Assistant’s App Starter and FasterOS designs it. This is the plan it made from the words “Inventory & Asset Tracking”: 7 forms that work together, each also a table of records. Yours is designed from your own description, and you can change any of it before anything is made.

How it fits together

The core entities (Product, Asset, Location, Supplier, Movement) are standalone, forming the primary records. The Maintenance Log and Media entities are children, providing detailed context for their respective parents.

• Maintenance Log belongs to Asset — records specific service history for an asset.
• Media belongs to Asset (main parent), and also attaches to Product, Location, Supplier, and Movement — for storing relevant files and images across various record types.
• Product — no parent; a standalone list of inventory items.
• Asset — no parent; a standalone list of high-value, trackable assets.
• Location — no parent; a standalone list of physical storage or deployment locations.
• Supplier — no parent; a standalone list of vendors.
• Movement — no parent; a standalone log of all inventory and asset transactions.
